Corey McDougall Memorial Golf Tournament to be held May 6

EAST WENATCHEE — The eighth-annual Corey McDougall Memorial Golf Tournament will unfold May 6 at Highlander Golf Club in East Wenatchee.

The event serves both as a way to honor McDougall and as a fundraiser for the Mission Ridge Ski Team. Proceeds will help fund scholarships for ski team members.

McDougall, a Wenatchee native who passed away in 2003, was a ski team alum.

"Corey had a competitive drive and a wonderful spirit that went beyond his skiing abilities and that still radiates today in the hearts of many," said Ryan Shorter, Mission Ridge Ski Team program director. "We are proud of having his name associated with this annual event.

"The golf tournament is a big part of keeping the ski team an integral part of the Wenatchee Valley's fabric," Shorter said. "Competing in any sport at the highest levels requires the support of more than just an athlete's family. Without this tournament and the community's support, some athletes would not be able to continue ski racing."

The golf tournament will tee off at 1 p.m. with a shotgun start at Highlander, 2920 Eighth St. S.E. Player registration is at 11 a.m. A dinner and awards program will follow at 5:30 p.m.

The cost is $125 per player or $450 per team. The price includes 18 holes of golf, a riding cart, the dinner and awards.
